This was the first year that 'Shroom and Lolli really got into dressing up for Halloween. Although we've slapped on a costume for the fun of it in the past, the kids really didn't know what it was all about. Thanks to public school education, the ramp up to Halloween starts about mid-September (and by the time the first week of October rolls around, 'Shroom is more eager for Halloween than his own birthday!).
With a kindergarten parade and a little show for the parents, I felt obligated to dress 'Shroom up. He wanted to be a bat. A nice bat - not a scary one. Lolli had to be a princess. A pink one.
Well, our little bat and princess (who also doubled as a bride at her preschool parade) are now tucked away in bed. What is the big deal about Halloween? I still don't get it. And the candy? 'Shroom and Lolli have yet to taste any of it.
And I hope it stays that way.

Nice bat costume. We were Ariel (Abby) and Snow White (Sarah). Unfortunately, they are into the candy, but we managed to give away most of their haul.
Yeah...what's the big deal about Halloween? We started brainwashing our little girl that you do "Treat or treat" when she was two, so she still thinks she should give candy away (though she gets plenty back in return).
